[quote=@Neziul] I... I've got nothing... Sorry guys, but after repeatedly trying to write up a character who fits this rp and then realizing that my idea would be no fun to actually play, I'm going to call it quits on this one. Have fun, folks. [/quote] Ah, that's a shame - I was really looking forward to you joining in, since you'd been one of the most enthusiastic ones about the RP from the start. Well, if you come up with something else later on that you think would work, you'll be welcome. [quote=@Foster] And in a real twist of Tenet-ception, I had the write-up for how the Fungi would impact the character living rent-free in my head for pretty much the past 20 years to the day. Which is why I figured I'd ask to what extent it was corrupted by the plague... pretty sure we don't want a "Last of Us" sort of background-shenanigans kicking off just as the war ends (Felix came about [i]much[/i] later, largely to be resistant to its more debilitating affects). And yeah, I know; it can't exist outside of anhur genetics, probably something about a slightly more chilled body-temperature... but what if it could exist in a hybrid? Granted, the likelihood of such a thing ever being a problem is about unlikely as me going off on a trip with my own toe-fungus... Still, it's a thing that can keep a mycologist up some nights. We'll probably get the special cloaks out to the troops most likely to need it, or volunteers willing to trial them. In the meantime, Felix will just have to make-do with her gundam-cosplay.

Interesting thought about it surviving in a hybrid - maybe one of the goals of the hybrid project was to reduce or remove the dependence on the symbiotic relationship altogether, so that the Anhur would be more able to survive on a wider variety of worlds. It seems like a logical reason to undertake such a project, or at least, one reason. [quote=@Lovely Bones] Had an interest in this, though high si-fi is a little out of my wheelhouse. Are there any spiritual aspects to the setting? Or nothing concrete? I had an idea for hyper zealous, warrior-monk/cultist. Buuuut, I don't know whether it would be more knight hospitaller or ascentionist, depending on the setting. I would also love to know if our characters can absolutely bastardize (in this case zealot it up) the MAS Suit? [/quote] I honestly hadn't considered spiritual aspects, as really; it's not something I tend to think of myself so it doesn't really come into my thoughts all that often. So, nothing concrete yet. Regardless; if they had some kind of formal tactical training or experience, then they could fit into the SPEAR units. Maybe if it was combined with some kind of cultural or social studies expertise and understanding if you wanted to go a less martial route? Also I suppose it depends on how 'Zealous' they were/are, as they'd have to be able to fit in with and work reliably alongside the rest of the unit and pass it's psych evaluations and tests. In terms of the MAS Customization; you're pretty much limited to cosmetic modifications, and even then; it'd have the same basic underlying appearance.
